I dedicate my efforts to those tiny tots who can’t sleep without a story from their parents
This book also provides good ideas to parents on upbringing of their children, with family values and
morals.
Special thanks to my father, without whose encouragement, I wouldn’t have succeeded, and to whom I
owe more than just this book.
Raazia
Little Ahmad had a toy in his hand as he left his home happily.
One of his friends of the street asked “Ahmad, why are you so happy?” To which Ahmad replied “My
father promised me to get a toy as a present for me if I learnt the Usool-e-Deen. I did, and my father
bought this for me”.
The children said “Now that you know it, can you say it for us?”
Ahmad began:
First – Tawheed,
Second - Nabuwwat
Third – Adal
Fourth - Imamat
Fifth – Qiyaamat
Bravo to those fathers who make their children aware of the various topics of the religion.
Her mother asked “Flora dear, why are you crying?” Sobbing loudly, Flora said “Mother, the children
made fun of me and said “this name of yours is not Islamic.
“My dear daughter, the children were right. We made a mistake. When father returns home I will request
him to change your name”.
“Mother ,thank you. Now that you want to change my name, I’d like the name Fatima.”
Yes, one of the important affairs of Islam is the naming of children, which the prophet (saw) has
mentioned as their right.
Yes. Good children always think it better to ask their parents before any work they do.
Yes, one of the laws of Islam is that children should be made aware of the reading of namaz and Quran
from the age of seven so that they are prepared for it.
Sakina, Suhail and Hussain were seated at the side of their parents.
Suddenly, six year old Sakina left the place unhappily and went to the other room.
Hussain who was attentive to Sakina’s gestures went after her and said “Sakina why did you leave so
suddenly?
She replied “Don’t you see that Suhail has stretched his legs in front of father and mother?!!”
Hussain called Suhail and said “Didn’t you know that our father and mother possess respect?”
We should sit with respect in front of them.
Yes, respect of father and mother has been mentioned with the respect of God himself, so we should
respect them very much. Yes, respect of father and mother has been mentioned with the respect of God
himself, so we should respect them very much.
Yes, one of the etiquettes and morals of Islam is that when ever we meet each other one should first
greet with salaam and the other should reply to it.
O fathers and mothers! Come let us be away from double facedness, bring it in practice and not remind
our children of it.
Yes, lying is a big sin. We should not lie and also keep away from those who lie. The leaders of Islam
have advised us not to say lies even if it is in a joke.
Yes, one of the signs of the Muslims of the right path is to be faithful on promises.
Every day, Ali went to play in the street with his friends there. One day he found out that the door of his
house was locked.
He said “Mother, open the door”.
His mother replied “I won’t ”.
Ali, with tearful eyes said “Why?”
His mother said “Because I heard that you used abusive language with your friends yesterday. I won’t
give you the permission leave the house”.
“Mother open the door, I won’t be abusive anymore”.
Bravo to the mother who pays attention to the indecency of her own child which are things that are
against the morals of Islam.
Siddiqa was a small, six year old girl.
She went to the gathering along with her mother.
The other children had also come with their mothers.
All the children did naughtiness and made the owner of the house very unhappy indeed.
The other children wanted Siddiqa to play with them but she refused.
She said “Mother told me that children should always behave themselves in a gathering and not make
the owner unhappy”.
Bravo to those children who respect their fathers and mothers and obey them.
Yes one of the things which is not liked is jealousy, in which some few people are involved.
Mustafa and Murtaza shared one bed between them at night. One night when Mustafa went to their
room thinking to sleep early he saw two beds instead of one.
He asked his mother “Do we have guests tonight?”
Mother replied “No, but you must have your beds separate from now on”.
When Murtaza was made aware of this story, he asked “Mother, may I ask you why?”
Mother replied “Because it is one of the rules of Islam that the beds of children of six years and onwards
should be separated”.
Nasir was a boy of eleven years. He opened the window of his room and started looking in their
neighbour’s house. Meanwhile, his mother entered the room and caught his hand rather angrily.
Looking at him, she said “My son, don’t you know that staring into neighbour’s house is a sin?”
Nasir who had never known this before replied “No mother, but thank you for your advice. I will not look
into our neighbour’s house again”.
Yes, looking into the house of neighbours without their permission is not allowed, and what could be
more better to pay attention to our children and not let them look into others houses without their
permission.
Yes, some of us do pester people during our childhood and if we do not stop this habit during our
childhood, we may make bigger violations when we grow up.
It was winter, and severely cold. The snow-fall was so heavy that the animals and birds were jumping
about here and there in search of food, Most probably they found it, but there was none……
Meanwhile, some of the children of the house became united, came out and started clearing the snow
from their compound and made some space of a few meters.
They took a few grains and wheat stalks and sprinkled them on the ground for the birds to eat.
The birds arrived and taking advantage of the sprinkled seeds became busy picking them.
When their father, Aqa Ismail saw this he appreciated the children and thanked god on giving him
moral-favoring children.
Mrs. Siddiqa asked her daughter to bring a glass of water for her.
Her daughter, Jameela shouted “Oh goodness! You’ve made me fed up and tired with all these
‘instructions’ of yours!”.
Unexpectedly her brother, Sa’eed spoke.
“Jameela, don’t you know that children have no right to shout at parents? God has said in the Qur’an
“Children don’t have the right even to say ‘Uf’ to parents”.
Jameela understood her mistake and apologized.
She said “Sorry mother, I acted in an ill-mannered way”.
Narjis was a good girl and her parents were contented with her.
But her sister, Mubaraka was jealous of Narjis. She used to say “I don’t know why mother and father
love you so much more than me”.
When she asked her mother, mother replied “Because Narjis revises her lessons and helps me in all
household jobs”.
Mubaraka thought that from now on she would also revise her lessons and help her mother in all
household jobs too.
Parents, too, must pay attention whether their children are, with the help of the people inside the house,
revising the lessons taught in classes or not.
Mohsin said to his father and mother “I love playing with a ball. But every time I combine my friends
together to play at 2:00 after Zohr, our neighbours say “Don’t play now, It’s resting time”. Mother, father,
can you tell our neighbours not to be a trouble for me?”.
His father, Aqa Ibrahim said “My dear son, the neighbours have the right to rest after Zohr. In that case if
you want to play, you can take your friends to the park and play there”.
Mohsin replied “Thank you very much for your advice, father.”
Qasim and Abdullah, on seeing their grandfather, went to ask him about his health (etc). Their
grandfather said “You are really good children, who come to ask about my health . When you will be old,
god willing you will reach high status”. Abdullah said “grandpa, one night we went with our father to the
mosque .There we saw a preacher sitting on the pulpit. I listened to him. One of his statements was “An
old person in his household, is, like a prophet, a respectful man of his time”.
So the lesson is that the way that the prophets were respected in their times, old people should be
respected too.
Farhad came home from school with tearful and crying eyes.
Aqa Hadi, Farhad’s father Asked “What’s the matter, son?”
He replied “I was pestering the children on my class and the teacher was also attentive on me. He told
me to be silent, but I didn’t obey.
He came in front at once and caught my hand and hit me.
Aqa Hadi said “My son, don’t be unhappy, and first know:
Teachers punishment is better than father’s love
And secondly that school is a place to study and not to play.”
Muhammad Ali and Muhammad Taqi were playing with each other in the compound of the house. Minu,
who was busy in the vegetables and flowers of the garden, asked “Any news from grandma?”
Muhammad Ali said “Why, what’s the matter?”
She said “It has been 3 days since she’s ill. Won’t it be nice if we visited her and ask her health, maybe
she is in need of food, water or medication”.
So the children went to visit her together. When they went there they saw her sleeping in her bedroom,
but said “salaam” and seated themselves rather far from her bed. She got up and said “Minu dear, I’m
really very thirsty”.
Minu went and brought her a glass of water. After drinking it, their grandma said “I wasn’t well but I’m
alright now that you visited me”.
The children said “Grandma, may god make you and all the other sick people healthy”.
Ahmad was waiting for his friend Muhammad so that they would go to a place. He glanced at his watch
and realized that Muhammad was late.
When he did come, Ahmad asked him “Why were you late?”
Muhammad replied “When I was coming, I saw an ill boy on the corner of the street.
I asked the address of his house to which he replied in a weak voice that he lived near my house.
I went running to his house, and informed the people.
Ahmad said “Bravo! What a good job that was which you did”.
Yes, it is against the morals of Islam to rejoice at the misfortune of others. It is possible that he will be
freed of it and you be caught.
Yes, keeping the trusted thing safe is one of the particularities of Islam to which the leaders of that
religion have invited us.
Youngsters and avoiding from the inadmissible eye.Youngsters and avoiding from the
inadmissible eye.
Yes, youngsters, how nice of us if when we reach home in the evening, after praying namaz, we recite
Quran and become familiar to our God, and if we have the means, to be also aware of the translation of
the ayahs of the Holy Quran.
Aqa Asadullah liked to sit with his son in the evenings so that he would do his given homework.
But one day he found a new pencil in his son’s bag.
He asked “Where did you get it from?”
His son did not reply.
When he insisted, his son put his head down in shame.
It became clear that he had stolen it from the other children.
His father was very unhappy.
First, he gave him advice, but when he continued the action, he bought stationary in abundance for him.
But when that also did not give any benefit, he beat his son and scolded him so that he would not steal
again.
Yes, this is one of the bad and dangerous qualities. Hope that the children and young stay away from
this bad habit.
Whenever Aqa Abbas came home, he greeted his children, and the children also became happy at their
father’s arrival. Aqa Abbas never came home empty handed. Sometimes he brought ice cream, and
sometimes fruits for the children.
Mrs. Khadija, their mother, used to distribute it among the children.
But Narjis complained to her father about her siblings. Sometimes she would say “Father, today Ali
broke a glass, Sometimes she would say “Father, Ahmad pestered Mamma today” , and these
complains were the very cause of some of the other children quarreling with her.
Her mother was unhappy with these happenings, so one day she called Narjis and said “ Do you know
that complaining about others is a very bad action in Islam and that you should not complain about
others to Father.”
Narjis replied “ I did not know that, thank you Mamma for guiding me”.
Jawad and Naser were neighbours and sometimes played in the streets also.
While playing, Jawad said “ I swear on my mother’s life.
Naser said “ It seems as if you love your mother very much!”.
Jawad replied “ Of course I do, because the Holy Prophet (saw) has said “Paradise lies under the feet of
the mother”.
Bravo for Majid and his good training school that he talked about ‘actions against morals’ with others and
advised them.
Habib, who was the son of Mashhadi Abbas, was once playing with children in the corner of the street.
Suddenly the loud voice of Maghribain namaz Azan reached their ears.
Habib said “Bye, friends.”
Everyone said “Why?”
Habib said “ It is the time of namaz now. I won’t play anymore, I must go the mosque to pray”.
After Habib departed, one of the children said “Blessed is Habib, really. He recites namaz even though
he is a child. I do not know how to pray it”.
The others admitted too that they did not know how to perform namaz.
Another one of the children stood up and said “ Friends, I have a plan. From tomorrow, instead of
playing, we will learn namaz from Habib and even go to the mosque with him.
Aziz, a boy of four years, said to his father “If it is possible, please bring some chicks to the house so
that we can raise them”.Aqa Aqeel, the father of the children, bought a few chicks for the children.
Everyday the children gathered round the chicks and enjoyed watching them.
But one day, Aqa Aqeel saw that each of the children had a stick in their hands and were pestering the
chicks.
Their father said “ I am going to take these chicks this very day and sell them”.
The children inquired “Father, why?”
Their father replied “ I am doing this because you were pestering the chicks. Don’t you know that you
should not pester any animal?”
Little Taqi, with watering eyes, said “Father, do not sell them, we will not pester them anymore”.
Saeed was playing in the garden of his school with his friends.
Suddenly, he saw a boy who was picking up stones from the ground and throwing them on children.
Saeed, who was very angry, approached the boy and said “It is true that the recess is for playing but not
for pestering people. Besides, you must know that pestering people is an un-favoured act and we, as
children and youngsters, should learn how to refrain from it”.
The other children who were listening became aware of it and the boy also promised that he also would
not pester others anymore.
Saeeda, who went to school everyday, one day came home and said “Mother, today I saw our
neighbour wearing a chadar and coming to school. The children exclaimed “This chadar is for big
women, why did you wear it?” to which she replied “My parents said “You are close to being big. Why
not start wearing chadar from now on so that as you grow, you have a practice for it”. Saeeda said
“Mother, I too want a chadar”.
Her mother said “I will go to the market, buy some cloth and sew a chadar for you tomorrow.”
Bravo to those mothers who are aware of wearing Islamic Hijaab and make their daughters too aware of
this divine obligation.
Fariedoon, whenever passed his street, would pull and break the branches of the trees or skin them.
One day, Shahid was watching this scene from far.
He said to Fariedoon “Do you know of what use these trees are for?”
He replied “No”.
Shahid said “We humans have a great need of oxygen which we should inhale. This oxygen is given out
from plants and trees. We have a job of giving water to the trees so that they do not dry up. This water is
taken in by their branches. We, humans take in food and then it reaches different parts of our body
through blood vessels. The tree has some substance which does the same job as our blood vessels.
These blood vessels are contained in it’s skin. And you are, instead of giving water to it, breaking it’s
branches and skinning it”. Fariedoon said “Thank you very much for telling me, I did not know that”.
Some youngsters had gathered in a park, they were talking and laughing.
Suddenly one of them put his hand in his pocket, took out a cigarette and began smoking.
His other friends looked at him, amazed and exclaimed “What is this?”
He replied “Doesn’t matter, I’m doing it for fun”.
A friend said “In the beginning, we call it fun, but it is very difficult to get rid of this habit later”.
Another friend said “Do you know the bad effects caused by smoking?
1- Bad Breath
2- Corruption of teeth
3- Cancer
4- Getting old faster
5-Waste of Money
6- Difficulty in breathing”.
The youngster, with help of advice from his friends, left smoking and promised never to smoke again.
A girl by the name of Pari had lost her father at a tender age of four years.
She had loved her father very much and was one day crying. Her mother came and took her out with the
hope that she would forget her father if she played with the children. But she was not able to do so.
Each of the children talked about the love of fathers with her. For example one said “My father bought
this doll for me”.
Another said “My father bought these new shoes for me”.
Someone else would say “My father loves me so much that whenever I reach home, he picks me up and
kisses me”.
This happened eveyday, till one day her neighbour friend said to her “I know how you feel.” The two of
them sat together and shared the pain of being orphans.
From that day, the children of the street would never mention anything regarding ‘fathers’ to Pari and
were more kind to her than ever.
When Rashid was 2 years old, he had gone to the roof and had fallen down. He suffered a great injury
afterwards and limped, and that was the very cause that children at school laughed at him.
Mostly, children walked like him and made others laugh.
Rasheed was greatly hurt and ashamed, so he made up his mind not to go to school anymore.
When his parents came to know, they went and concluded it to the principal of the school.
The principal then went to Rasheed’s class and delivered a short speech on some actions that are not
liked in Islam. He said that we must respect all people in the world because they are equal. He also said
that God has prevented us from ridiculing and hurting others.
Bravo to those principals that make children aware of actions against Islamic etiquettes.
It was mother’s day, and all the children were buying gifts for their mothers.
Some one was buying stockings, someone shoes, someone a frying pan, and so on.
But Sharif and Azadeh were from an Islamic family. Sharif said “Whatever I give my mother is less,
because the Holy Prophet has said “Paradise lies under the feet of mothers”.
Azadeh said “Whatever we give, it wouldn’t be enough for Mama”.
After thinking for quite a while, Sharif said “Because Mama loves to pray, recite Quran and duas, we can
give her a Quran and Mafatih (Book of Duas).
Finally, Shareef bought his mother a Quran and Azadeh gifted her with a Mafatih.
Sharifa and Siddiqa were two neighbours, they went to school together and returned together.
After some days, Teacher’s day came. Each of the children either gifted their teachers with a trumpet or
a bunch of flowers.
Sharifa said to Siddiqa “All the children are giving their teachers trumpets or flowers”.
Siddiqa said “What do we do now?”.
Sharifa said “How nice if we ask our parents to guide us”.
After taking a suggestion from their parents, they gifted their teacher a moral book each.
When the family was invited for the wedding ceremony, they only took their 5 year old daughter Hoori
with them.
On the way, Hoori’s mother told her “Sit quietly with me and do not go and start eating the fruits or
sweets unless other people do so and I tell you. Whatever you want quietly mention it to me”. But when
they went there, Hoori did not obey her mother, and whilst other children were quietly sitting with their
mothers watching the bride, Hoori went and started eating the sweets and fruits.
Her mother was very ashamed.
When they reached home her mother said “Hoori, why did you disobey me and went to eat the sweets
and fruits? Didn’t you notice how the other children sat quietly with their mothers?
Whenever Miss Saleema called her daughter, Rau’fa down for lunch, dinner or breakfast, Rau’fa first
washed her hands with a soap and after finishing every meal, brushed her teeth.
One day, Miss Saleema said to her “Rau’fa, It makes me happy to see you washing your hands before
meals and brushing your teeth after them. Where did you learn this from?”
Rau’fa replied “Our teacher requested us to wash hands before meals and to brush our teeth after
meals.
She also said that this is one of the orders in Islam.
Bravo to those teachers who make children aware of the recommended schedule in Islam.
Raazia and Asghar had lost their mother during childhood.
The bearing of the loss of mother was very hard for them.
The services of the house were performed by their father’s wife, but the kindness of a mother and love of
father’s wife are completely different.
Though Asghar and Raazia were not negligent of honouring father’s wife, yet they showed more love
towards their aunt (mother’s sister).
They bought stockings for her, sometimes toys for her children and sometimes would run errands for
her.
Till one day their father said “Why do you respect your aunt so much?”
Asghar replied “I heard that the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) said respecting aunt is like respecting mother.
We do not have a mother to serve, so why not be fortunate enough to serve and respect our aunt?”
Their father was happy and encouraged them more.
Aqa Abul Fazl showed much love towards his 12 year old son, Arif.
Arif’s mother asked her husband one day “Why do you love Arif so much?”
He replied “The other children always say one or two lies everyday. But I have never heard a lie from
Arif, be it seriously or joking. This love of mine is for the truthfulness.”
His wife said “Yes, you are right because neither did I hear a lie from our son”.
Bravo to those children who speak the truth with everyone and their parents.
Truthfulness is one of the good qualities of Islam.
The family was invited to the wedding ceremony. The card said for Mr. ___________ and family. But on
the foot of the card was written “Your children are to be invited later. Which meant that children were not
supposed to be coming with their parents. Still, some of the children insisted on coming with their
parents.
But eight year old Nadeema told the children that we are not supposed to go with our parents because
we are not invited. If we go, we will act against morality.
Bravo to those children who have good understanding and follow and obey the orders of morality.
Amir had used only one bag ever since he started school. He was very careful while writing; he used to
leave little space between words and sentences and used both sides of a page. He also showed
contentment in writing materials like pen, pencil and papers.
Imran, who was a classmate, said “Amir, I recieve a new bag every year, leave much space between
words, and use only one side of a page. I have stationary and writing materials in vast quantity.”
Amir replied “If I want, I can also be like you, but we should not waste money because in one way, we
will then be dependant on others for our needs. So it is better if we avoid being dependant, and try to
conserve it for our country.
Other than that, have you not heard that Imam Ali (as) has said “Contentment is a river that never dries.
Safir had gone to a country in Europe for further studies. To stay away from corruption over there, he
married an Irani girl.
When he returned to Iran, they had two children, Ahmad and Zahra.
Ahmad was eight years old and Zahra six.
Safir first lived with his family in his parents’ house but then afterwards they shifted to their personal
house.
Some of the other families were surprised on seeing this Europian family, and the main reason of their
being surprised was the Islamic behaviours of the two children.
Ahmad said Salaam to anyone he met and thanked God if any one asked his welfare. Zahra started
wearing a scarf from a very young age and they both prayed namaz regularly.
It wasn’t long before the two children were examples for the families, and they knew that although those
children were raised in a foreign English land, due to the mindfulness of the parents their culture was still
Islamic.
Whenever the family was called down to meals and the children sat at the table, Hami only ate from the
centre of the bread and did not eat the corners.
As a result, much bread was wasted.
One day, one of Hami’s brothers said to him “Hami, do you know that wastage is an action that is
against the morals of Islam?”
And if we want we can be content with little and avoid wasting money.
This is also a law of our countries.
Whenever Wajeeh sat at the table and started to eat food, he did not say Bismillah and did not thank
God after meals.
One day his brother, Najeeb said “Don’t you see that before Mom and Dad begin to eat they say
Bismillah and at the end of it they say Alhamdu lillah?
Wajeeh replied “Why do they do so?
His brother said “They say so because all these vegetables, fruits, bread, water and everything else is
gifted to us by God. So it is very good if we start and end food with his name”.
And other tan that, the leaders of Islam have always requested us to say this and we must obey them.
Every Friday, the needy came at the doors of people, asking for money. Similarly, a beggar came to Aqa
Abdullah’s house.
He asked for help.
Aqa Abdullah wanted to give him 2 tomans, but his daughter Ruqayya said “Father, I have 5 tomans
from the weekly pocket money I get. If you allow I’ll give 2 tomans to him.
His other daughter, Rabab said “Father, I also have 4 tomans, would you allow me too?”
Their brother, Saqib said “Father I am also ready to give this needy person six tomans would you allow
me to do so?
Their father allowed them to help the needy man and they helped him greatly.
Their parents thanked god for such generous and helping children and were pleased.
In families, children often quarrel with each other and sulk away for some time.
In one family of 8, Simin and Amin had had a great quarrel and sulked away from each other, no matter
how much the others tried to re-unite them.
Till Mustafa, their brother, decided to make peace between them.
He went to Simin and said “Simin! If only you knew how much Amin loves you! He said he’d love to see
you open a clinic for ladies”.
He then went to Amin and said “Simin said she would love to see you finish university and grow older,
and one day become a professor at the university”.
At last they were re-united.
Their sister, Fatima said “Mustafa, you did a great job, but you told a number of lies”.
Mustafa said “When we want to make peace between two people, it doesn’t matter how many lies we
say”.
Yes O Parents! If you want your children to possess the morals of Islam, then fulfill the promises made
by you to your children, for this is an order from the Holy Prophet (saw).
Kiya was very unhappy, because he had lost his father and his mother had re-married. The man, too,
had lost his wife and had brought along with him his two children, Sadiq and Qasim.
The man and woman were both choiceless in the matters of their marriage, but the only cause of
disagreement was the children. Kiya used to think that if he wouldn’t have lost his father, he wouldn’t
have been caught in this situation, and Qasim and Sadiq thought that if their mother would not be dead,
they wouldn’t have to go in another house, and meet a step brother. Their disagreement made their
father and mother unhappy.
Till one day, Qasim, who was the oldest of the three, gathered the other boys and said “Although we
were strangers yesterday, today we are of the same family. Kiya’s mother is our mother, and our father
the father of all of us.So how good if we be kind to each other”.he finished.
After that, he went out and bought some ice cream and divided it between them.
Kiya, whenever went out, would bring sweets and whenever Sadiq returned from school he bought a pen
for each one of them.
Yes, it is very good if parents pay attention to their children and grant their wishes when possible.
Azad, who was a regular student, sometimes saw that children wrote on the walls with pens, pencils and
markers.
He made up his mind to stop this . But he knew that he couldn’t go alone. So he gathered some
students and went to the principal of the school. They said to him “It is not our job to take care of the
school building. But if you allow, when the children are ready to enter the class, we will say that the
school is like the house and to avoid from writing on walls”.
The next day, Azad with his friends , with the permission of the principal, got a microphone and said “the
school is just like our home and we must not write on the walls of the school building and the classes”.
After that, he said “writing on the walls is forbidden and we are not allowed to do so”. And this thing the
children completely understood.
From the children who play in the streets or go to school, only some have the tidiness of their faces and
clothes.
Hussam, who was a clean boy, said to an untidy boy “Don’t you know that the Holy Prophet (saw) has
preached cleanliness with faith?
And besides, uncleanliness spreads a lot of illnesses and diseases. So try keep your clothes and body
clean so that you don’t fall ill and people won’t avoid sitting with you.
Atabak was tired and fed-up of having to go to school and attend classes.
So he ran away from school.
His father and mother tried their best to persuade him to go back, but it was all in vain.
At last he left school and used to play in te streets and do nothing else.
After some days, some relatives of his came to his town and brought gifts for everyone.
They gave Atabak a frame on which was written ‘Seek education from the cradle till death’.
Because he was illiterate, he was greatly ashamed, and at the same time, decided to continue
education.
He did so, and not only was he no longer illiterate, he reached high status.
Adeeb, wehenever sat at the table, used to eat more than the other children, and after meals, did not
avoid eating different types of fruits, chocolates and ice creams.
One day Mujtaba said to him “Brother, don’t you know that over-eating is ill-favoures in islam?”
But Adeeb never lent an ear.
Till he fell ill.
When he went to the doctor, he said that the loss that you are suffering is just because of over-eating.
Another brother of his called Sharif said “We have heard that the Holy Prophet has said “Do not eat till
you are hungry and leave food before you are full”.
And if we avoid over-eating we won’t fall ill.
